Not at all

by Beautiful Tragedy   Aug 27, 2018


I don’t think I’ve ever felt as much disappointment as I did tonight when billy walked through the door;
And you were nowhere to be seen.
I jumped out of my seat-
Ignoring my rude exit of the conversation I was having with another person as
I followed billy back to the bar and asked him where you were;
My heart completely stopping mid beat when he said I wouldn’t see you for another three weeks.
I bit back my tears and told him how bad I needed you;
And as he pulled me into a hug I realized just how much I am actually hurting-
And you are nowhere to be found and probably have no idea exactly how vital it is that I see you soon.
I found myself hugging billy more than I have in the entire two years I’ve known you both-
Mostly because I really needed it but
also because he’s your best friend and it made me feel closer to you,
In one way or another.
Seeing him without you was weird since the two of you are kind of like a package and you never see one of you without
the other but;
Before I left he promised me I would see you soon,
Even if soon isn’t for another a three weeks.
Its cool though because darling at this point in my life “soon”-
is a whole lot better than not at all.

    Well said, "Soon is a whole lot better than not at all."
    In these three weeks write 3 poems. Start with 'I', write something describing your personality, then 2nd week write about 'love' between the two of you and third will be dedicated to 'you(him)' letting him know how much he means to you.
    Just three weeks, BT, they will be over soon.
    Take care.

      Three weeks. Seems really far away with all I have going on right now but that is a great idea. Right after I publish this next poem though.. lol.
